I read the reviews.All of them.I even decided this would be the vacuum for me after reading about someone's cleaner catching on fire somehow. I did that thing where I assumed they did something stupid, and that wasn't going to happen to us. Especially because the price was right. Ha, keep reading.First, it's super easy to slap together. You could build it in your sleep.Second, it has wonderful suction. I don't buy super expensive cleaners though, and I haven't upgraded my old vacuum in YEARS. It's very possible I just don't have a great baseline for what to expect in a vacuum. This one's suction puts my old model to shame, so that part is fantastic. But what is with the little corner tool that fits no where on the body of the vacuum? It's destined to be lost the moment you unbox it.Important information... there is a fill line on the dirt canister. I've seen hundreds of photos of the canister filled to the brim with pet hair. Don't do that. Seriously. Empty it often.Easy to clean, easy to empty canister, decent length cord. too clunky for stairs.One reviewer wrote in detail about how wobbly the vacuum is, they posted photos of their bruises from the thing tipping over on them when using the little "crack sucker." I thought, how silly is THAT. But...NOW I GET IT. The suction hose is very rigid, and short. So when you are working on crevises, mattresses, on your hands and knees in the corners of your kid's closet sucking up leggos and pretending you didn't...this thing will ATTACK. I won't post photos of the wounds, but guys, it's so lightweight it tips with a tiny tug.On to the fire part. There wasn't an actual fire, but the cord is MELTING. I use it a lot. I've had it for nearly a month. The cord is pulling apart or melting or something weird where it's insides are visible and dangerous looking.I was so excited about a new vacuum, and this little death trap worked like a beast for a couple of weeks. After that, the odds aren't great.
